Asbestos Attorneys in Utah

Utah Asbestos AttorneysSalt Lake City, Utah was once home to two vermiculite processing plants which released high levels of asbestos into the environment. Vermiculite is an ore that is used in the production of potting soils and insulation. Most of Utah’s vermiculite was shipped in from Libby, Montana; mined from a site heavily contaminated with asbestos.

Who Is At Risk Of Asbestos Exposure?

Individuals who worked for the Vermiculite Intermountain Plant, which was open from 1941-1986 or the Intermountain Products Plant that was open from 1985-1987 were most likely exposed to asbestos during their employment. Not only are the workers at risk, but so are their families, as asbestos fibers could have been brought home with them in their clothing or shoes.

Families living near the former plants are also at mesothelioma cancer risk, as asbestos fibers can escape into the environment and float freely until they are ingested or inhaled.

Utah Residents and Workers at Asbestos Cancer Risk

In addition to the two vermiculite processing plants, Utah has several other sites responsible for asbestos exposure. These include oil refineries, power plants and chemical plants, all of which relied heavily on asbestos for its resistance to heat and friction.

Individuals who worked in any of these Utah asbestos industries are also at high risk of developing an asbestos cancer disease such as mesothelioma, asbestosis or lung cancer.
